Hi all well decided to trat myself at a small regular coin fair in Charing Cross (Central London) not as well attended today due to another plusher event taking place elsewhere Well I fully intended to pick up a few bits of silver but the guy I normaly buy modern from was absent so of to my Roman dealer went I only to discover I had taken the wrong glasses with me and could not clearly see anything LOL I came away with the selection below 1 French Napoleon III Gold 10F 5 Roman $ Silver and one with a copper core a unknown Indian Silver and a Black Sea area silver. I will get the books out later LOL One good thing though at least I will have fun sorting them and they were very reasonable. De Orc
Is it my eyes, with glasses, or are they two heads on the roman one in the middle ? Could you show a bigger pic, please ? Cucumbor
Is that 90 Pounds for the Black Sea silver coin?? I'm sure it's well worth it but Ouch. Next time,bring glasses,leave wallet... :hammer:
